In 1996, Ohio's General Assembly authorized the establishment of Local Professional Development Committees (LPDCs) and mandated that such be established in every school district and chartered nonpublic school by September 1998 (Ohio Revised Code 3319.22). The purpose of the committees is to review the coursework and other professional development activities proposed and completed by educators within the district to determine if the requirements for renewal of certificates or licenses have been met with the exception of professional pupil services licenses that require credentialing through related licensure boards.

To the right are the Willoughby-Eastlake's LPDC Handbook and the District and Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) Goals. These files, along with the forms on this site, will allow you to complete your IPDP and your License/Certificate Renewal.
